Hello guys, how many of you are using the temperred glass cover on your unit. Did it have an impact on the speed your battery needs to be recharged..?

A screen protectot no matter if it is glass or a simple plastic one will have no impact on your battery consumption.......what makes you think this

I noticed after I put one recently, there was some reduction in my battery juice time. charging routine . that was the only change I did.

I read also from the web some users gave similar experience with other phone brands so I am asking if other xz users gave related experience..

@trashcan

charge the phone 100% > use the phone as you normally would for 2 or so hours > check the battery status > take screenshots

charge the phone 100% > boot in >>> safe mode > use it the same way as before for the same amount of time > check the battery status and take screenshots

same as before but this time w/o the screen protector.

As it had a screen protector on the display already . It's late to verify by peeling it off. I just wanted to know if somebody here had similar experience with their XZ. If they can confirm it really did, then I will remove it. BTW.. What kind of Gorilla glass does xz have..?

Thanks for your comments..

I have 2 Xperia XZ one with and one without a film protector, I don't see much of a difference.

Hmn. Good, waiting for other users to concur before I do further action.

BTW....

Huh.. You have to xz..,?

What for? If you have two phone sim numbers, you can have the the dual SIM for that.?

@trashcan

different situation, but we'll see if other users have similar situations, it will be helpful if you post the brand and model of the screen film/glass protector.

One of my XZ has a protector, one does not.

I have no reason to think the one with a protector has any different battery life.....

...as you'd expect because how on earth does a screen protector use more power? Really struggling to understand this one tbh.

The only thing I can think of is that people increase brightness to compensate for the 0.1% less brightness other than that the idea is stretching it to say the least

I can understand if you said that the screen protector is consuming your phone's positive energy, but consuming its "battery juice" that I'd never understand

There is definitely something going on with the screen when protected.

I use the original cover and had high drainage on the batt.

After a clean install it improved but can't update to 7.1.1 anymore.

Have now turned everything off.. Double tap, glove mode e.d.. I can now get through a day.. Barely..
